Yes it is possible. Fast, NO. Using an example, I need to change every Source 'US Census 1860, Illionis, Cook County, Chicago Ward 6' to 'ENG 1861 London, Stepney Limehouse Parish, voter lists'. Learning purposes only. 1. Go to Master Source List. Highlight the victim. 2. Choose 'Show list', 'for US1860'. 3. Tag the list to an empty Tag. 4. Print the list. 5. Confirm each person in the list needs to make the switch, edit any problems. 6. Create the NEW Source. (Don't use an existing one.) 7. Combine the Source 'US1860' into 'London1861'. 8. Confirm each person moved properly. Untag the good ones. 9. Search for the should be empty source. if there, re-do 1-9. 10. Take the still there 'US1860' and choose Options - Delete Master Source. works only when emptied. 11. If needed add the old correct and the new correct to each other using combine. I once changed about 400 people, this method, though slow, instills confidence it worked right. Rich in LA CA
